- Annotation
- Contextualizes Renata s ambiguous reference to disappointment in the gondola scene by first examining Hemingway s use of the word to signify unfulfilled sexual intercourse in For Whom the Bell Tolls and elsewhere. Closely examines the remark considering Renata and Cantwell s conversations about having children. Reads the deeper disappointment behind Renata s vague reference as the beginning of menstruation, thus ending the couple s dream of pregnancy.
